What is modern

﻿What is the Modern World?The French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species are modern, and were important to shaping the modern world. The modern world can be classified as a time when there was the rise of the middle class, technological advances, an increase in economic power, and a deviation from religion into science. These modern movements can be seen in the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, rendering them modern as well. Self development and economic development are important for defining and shaping the modern world. These developments were seen in the French and Industrial Revolutions, as well as Darwin’s theories; however Darwin’s theory may have had a slightly larger impact in shaping the modern world. A combination of self development and economic development is important for shaping the modern world. In order to have modern developments, there had to be self development. Self development allows for reflection, and a push towards economic development. These developments include a want and press for social equality, educational equality, and a deviation from religion into science. Reflecting on one self’s state of being allows one to pick out what they would like to change to better their state. After self development happens, you start to see the need for social and educational equality. This causes a betterment of economic advances and allows for the growth and shaping of the modern world. Self development leads to economic development as it allows for you to see the need for an economical change.1 We can see how social and economical development shaped the modern world in the French Revolution, The Industrial Revolution, and even Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. A major cause of the French revolution included social unease, as the citizens were becoming increasingly unhappy with the government and the feudal system. The Revolution was fueled by ideals from the Enlightenment as seen in Darwin’s work, which further lead for self development in the citizens. The French Revolution eradicated the class system while the Industrial revolution changed it, and caused more self development as the citizens decided that they wanted more equality thus affecting economic development.2 The French Revolution allowed France to turn from a monarchy to a republic, and stop the royal absolutism that was occurring at the time. Before the revolution, France was divided into three states. Under the king laid the First Estate which consisted of the clergy. They didn’t have to pay taxes, but still owned a substantial amount of the land. Under them was the Second Estate which consisted of France’s nobility. Those who made up this estate also didn’t have to pay taxes, but owned a smaller portion of the land. They held high positions in the military, church, and the higher courts. The Third Estate consisted of the largest population of people, the commoners. Despite being poor, they had to pay the taxes, and determined the financial state of the other estates. This estate originally consisted of the poor and agricultural farmers and workers, but soon started to incorporate other positions as well with the rise of the middle class. The Third Estate was starting to be composed of wealthy entrepreneurs, and educated lawyers and businessmen.3 The rise of the middle class resulted in the formation of the National Assembly, where the Third Estate advocated its belief that “the interests of the Third Estate were in the interests of the entire nation.”4 This caused a dramatic change to the country’s government and sparked the tensions that lead to the French Revolution. There are four major causes for the French Revolution: social unease, the financial crisis, the Industrial Revolution, and the Enlightenment. There were shaky grounds between the citizens and the government where the citizens underwent self development and realized the unfairness of...

...What is modern sport?
Throughout the 1970's, sociologists used the conflict and functionalist theory to lead their examination of sports in society. Each theory is based on different assumptions about the establishment of social order in society and different conclusions about the significance and consequences of sports in civilization. (2)
Sociologists using the conflict theory, view society as an ever-changing set of affairs, characterised by intrinsic differences of economic interest. Social order is believed to exist because some groups of people have capital enabling them to pressurize and subtly influence others to accept their view of the world, as the correct vision. Based on an updated version of Karl Marx's ideas, the conflict theory has been used to study all countries that have capitalist economic systems. (2)
The development of commercialisation in sports is one such area that is studied using the conflict theory. According to this theory, sports are used to promote capitalist growth in two ways. Firstly, by creating profits for large businesses and secondly by acting as an advertising means to encourage people in society to use expenditure as an measurement of self-value and quality of life. (1)
Sports have been used as forms of public entertainment throughout history. However, they have never been so influential and persuasive in the lives of people as they are in today's society.

This is journal entry #20 10:30 AM 8/10/2050: The riots are still raging in the streets and gas prices are $200 a gallon. It has been 15 days since we have been told that there is no more fossil fuels. Our civilization is at the tipping point; like I said there is violent riots in the streets the lights are not turning on and neither is the water. My mom tells me it’s like this because when she was a kid everyone abandoned the idea of “clean energy” because they were told that scientists figured out how to clean up the pollution. No one thought of when we were going to run out fossil fuel and now we have. We need a new source of power, a clean and unlimited reserve of energy, hydrogen.
Hydrogen is a clean and unlimited resource. Hydrogen is a completely clean resource, when used in cars it’s only emission is water vapor and heat. Hydrogen is virtually unlimited when hydrogen runs out our universe will have ended ( most likely one hundred trillion years) 100,000,000,000,000 years from now.
Hydrogen is extremely efficient, it is 3 times more efficient than gasoline. You can get 480 miles a tank with the Toyota FCHV. From coral you can make it all the way to San Diego, CA and go another 156 mi on one tank.
Some argue that hydrogen is very flammable and can explode. Those that argue this are 100% correct but it is not any more flammable than the gasoline in your car right now.
Hydrogen is only $1.80 gallon and 3 times more...

HOW DOES TECHNOLOGY AFFECT
THE WORKPLACE TODAY?
BY:
Michael Cohn M.Ed.
Promote Awareness
September 2000
Each job and its many components involve learning and understanding in order to
complete its responsibilities on a daily basis.
In the past five years, there has been an influx in technology both in the workplace
and in everyday activities. E-mail, the Internet, fax and other forms of technology have
streamlined office tasks and made it possible to accomplish more work more quickly. In
spite of their seeming “necessity,” however, it is possible for most people to accomplish
their workplace tasks without such technological innovations. Imagine what it would be like,
then, if everyone had to use technological accommodations in order to perform the tasks
that a job required, or even to complete simple, everyday tasks. Many people with
disabilities are in this situation; they must use technological accommodations everyday.
Many of the same advancements that have created the global market and the “dot.com”
revolution have also enabled people with disabilities to become a part of working society.
With the use of technological advancements now widespread in business and
industry, more and more formerly “disabled” people are entering the workplace. Prior to
these advancements, many persons with disabilities had, really, only two employment
options: to stay home and collect Social Supplement Income* from the...

...The culture of the United States has been going from bad to worse in recent years. Things like good manners and kindness have been weeded out. The youth of America look to the media for guidance on what is "cool" and acceptable and pop culture is filling their minds with bad thoughts. TV, movies, and radio are the avenues for this corruption. On average, in a two-hour period, a child will see a maximum of one hundred people die on TV. Music is destroying the tentative footing that women have in the country. This decay of modern culture is traced to violence on TV, music that is negative to women, the standard for manhood, and the bad fashion that has been forced into us all
The main point, violence on TV and in movies is appalling. A teenager of eighteen has seen. On average, twenty-six thousand people die on TV alone. Youth have become desensitized to violence and they tend to accept it as normal and okay. This has led to children actually believing that, for example, a rape victim deserved it. Children are being taught violence and how it is just and everyday thing. Sports, such as football, are violent as well. A child may think it is okay to tackle people. Pop culture is breeding the violence in daily life. The rapes that take place everyday can be traced to the entertainment we all watch and hear. In the time it takes you to read this essay one hundred and sixty women have been raped. Date rapes are one of the worst results of violence....

What is the role of moral education in modern society?
Our life is a long process, which permanently changes and develops. Nowadays modern society lives in incredible rhythm, where the main purposes are earning money, earning money and earning money. Also purposes are to have a power too. It is not good for society in whole. Society consists of simple persons, who are a nature existence with emotions and feelings. A human being has a soil. It is a subtle matter, which necessary to keep and care. Ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius mentions about saving and keeping soil by means of moral and spiritual education. Methods are four parts of Confucius’s doctrines rites ( li ), goodness (ren) ,master (zi) and filial piety, relationship values ( hsiao ). The main idea, which unites these doctrines, is a morality and spirituality. It is benevolence, aggregate of all good appearances. Benevolence is a necessary state for every person. But what does it mean? What is a morality and spirituality? Morality is a code of elementary norms of proprieties. Also morality is similar notion with spirituality. Both are the main things in the society and in culture. But morality is a temper of behavior in society; spirituality is conditions of soil, right world-view and harmony with own mind. Also it is the essential part...

...﻿What is your opinion on modern music?
I won't judge you on your opinion, if you don't judge mine. I was just curious to see some of the responses from this question. I feel that when some people use the term that music now a days isn't "real" or takes no "talent" doesn't have a factual argument behind it. I'm sure that in previous generations, the music the listened to was also called not "real" by others older than them, but now that's what is referred to as real music. Does this mean that generations from now the music of the 2000's will be classified as "real" music? If so then what really is real music? Or as I believe, all music, ( Rap, Screamo, Country, R&B, Hip Hop, etc) is real. It has an instrumental background, (with actual instruments or synthesizers), a singer(s) (Raw talent or the help from a studio) and pure entertainment and joy from listening to it. That's what I believe, music is. So feel free to voice your
ideas on this question. I would love to hear how you view modern music.
I dont' like much modern music apart from Rock and indie and metal etc...Personally, I don't have much respect for singers who just get up on stage and sing/lip sync songs that other people composed and write for them. I don't call that talent, it's just karaoke. Talent is being able to write your own songs, play your own instruments and actually sing live. and making it big your...

What is Federalism?
Carmen Torres
Prof. Tracy Herman
POL 110: US Government
May 18, 2014
Abstract
This paper will illustrate what is the meaning of federalism and what it does for us. I will talk about how it helps our political system and if it does us any good. How has federalism changed the behavior to our American society? Does federalism affect us or does it help us see a better political view? Things like this is something I would be covering in my paper. Everything you need to know about federalism I would be talking about it in this paper.
Federalism, what does federalism mean to you? Federalism is a political system that helps the government maintain independence for everyone. This means that the government has used a new way to help out the government to handle the independence and to set a good federation for the people. Federalism to me is to help out the people maintain a good set of rules and not have the government handle all the rules for the people. They need to let the people know that others, other than the government, are out there to help them and protect them of their rights.
American federalism was created on 1787 when the constitution was made. They did not want the confederal or the unitary models for the government that is when they chose to go with federalism. If they would have chosen the cofederal it would mean that the member...
